At a time when the US President and other US politicians tend to apologize
for their country’s prior actions, here’s a refresher on how some former US
personnel handled negative comments about the United States.

JFK’S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60’s when
Charles DeGaule, the French President, decided to pull out of NATO.
DeGaule said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible.

Rusk responded “does that include those who are buried here?

DeGaule did not respond .

You could have heard a pin drop.
